its definitely trust issue but we do have system in place which would tell us if files are different. In your case just 1 VPS instance would not help though.. we would need at least 20-30TB to make it worthwhile

We have used couple of CDNs including KeyCDN. I cannot comment on performance as we have not done any tests yet but the team is very responsive and helpful. They have good UI and set of tools available for their customers.

I dont understand how is it possible that browser would allow crossdomain request from attacker website to victim website? Unless victim has some CORS headers allowing all sites to query it?

I agree but one would expect that AV vendors have enough opportunities to make money without sacrificing their users and their reputation. Look at how many products AVG has. I think they should do just fine by converting free users to paid
